I used what I had on hand which was HP photo paper - photos turned out great! If you haven't tried the restore photo function, try it! I restored a 20 year old photo that turned out great. Looks like I just took the picture!

This Timer is Great to have,however I fine it much easier to set up a Action in Photoshop to handle ev +/- 5 stops faster and have it save each exposure as a file,then open the 5 exposures in any HDR programs that you may have.Or you can set it up in camera raw presets.Look around you can download actions as well. Also Lightroom can process different ev as well but Photoshop Action is Quicker.

Hi there. Unfortunately, I cannot attach a document to this page. Can you go ahead and send an e-mail over, so I can attach the directions in my response? Thank you.

I haven't done these, but I can say that the instructions for fliers and mailings look very simple, intuitive--unlike their publishing a book instructions. You import your graphics and they have many formats for fliers, in particular. I happened across them while stumbling through. I have the book and its not nearly as helpful as the tutorials- check them out and you will see.

Save your money! I bought PE7 and haven't had any luck uploading RAW images from my Canon 50D. I am livid right now because of Amazon's misleading $20 rebate offer, Adobe's inconsistant customer service and Popular Photography magazine editor Debbie Grossman that wrote "A step-by-step guide to editing RAW in Elements" in the recent April 2009 issue. I downloaded ACR 5.3 from Adobe's website but still can't get my RAW uploaded in PE7. Adobe's customer service rep said Elements doesn't upload RAW images, you must 1st convert them to a JPEG or TIFF. If you want to work with RAW you purchase Lightroom 2 or CS4. What a bozo.

Well, I upgraded to PSE 6.0 from PSE 5.0 a few months ago, really without thinking about it. I just wanted the latest software. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few problems relating to the uploading of RAW files, i.e., the program doesn't seem to be able to handle them. After I've uploaded them from the built-in card reader in my PC (running Windows XP), the thumbnails in the Organizer appear as "broken links" and usually the program crashes shortly thereafter. I've seen complaints about this on various forums but Adobe seems apparently unable or unwilling to do anything about it at this point. It does seem to be limited to this one feature (i.e., uploading .CR2 files) but that is a drag because that is the format I usually shoot in. Otherwise, it's a terrific program. It certainly has lots of great features. But I'm spending too much time trying to keep it running. I should have stuck with PSE 5.0 until Adobe came out with some fixes for this.

I'm running PSP Photo X2 under Vista on an HP Slimline with 2 gigs of RAM and I have had no problems. However, I've read about some bad experiences that other people have had running PSP under Vista. I don't know for sure what the problems are, but I'd highly recommend a clean install of the Paint Shop software if at all possible. I'm in the same boat you are with regard to level of expertise (or lack thereof). I do have a lot of photos on my computer and I ran several of my problem photos through PSP Photo X2 and applied the "quick fix" button. The photos were all improved considerably with zero effort and knowledge. I'm pretty sure that with a little practice with the more complicated features I could do more. I have also used PCP Photo X2 do so some web graphics, and the support for layers, JPGs, GIFs, PNGs, and the RGB color model are more than sufficient for my needs (I used Photoshop in college and Print Shop works essentially the same way Photoshop did for the tasks I need it to do). I also tried Photoshop Elements, and the web-centric features of Print Shop Pro seemed far more robust to me than the ones in Elements. In my opinion, nothing even comes close to Print Shop Pro for the price. Finally, if you are interested in doing some detailed research before you buy the software, get Diane Koers's book "Picture Yourself Learning Corel Paint Shop Pro X2" and read it. It will tell you all the things you can do with the software and it's surprisingly inexpensive, especially for a Course Technology book. The best part is that after you read it and decide to buy the software (which I'm betting you will), the book will continue to be useful to you as a reference.

I downloaded the instruction guide online. I Google searched for paperback ones but only found .pdf files

Try these 2 links. The first is for a pdf file which has the whole manual. What is shipped in the box is a short start up manual and a pdf on disk. This is the same file I have. The second is the web page for Canon to download the file. http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300004756/01/PSELPH300HS_IXUS220HS_CUG_EN_02.pdfhttp://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_sd_series/powershot_elph_300_hs_silver#BrochuresAndManuals

Photoshop Elements 9. It's not as fancy as regular Photoshop, but it works for me.

Check out the menu list and you should see how to take a photo or even a video. Also get yourself a micro memory card and install that for expanded memory. I've taken lots of photos and used them in power points, also I've used the videos to make short programs~

The PE Design Lite is nice. I have moved up to the next PE Design progam with more fetures.

I've used Photoshop Pro and Elements through version 9, and in my opinion Elements 12 was the worst version I've ever used. After installing PhotoshopElements 12, the program didn't work the way my old version of Photoshop Elements 9 did. It's supposed to work with layers, but it doesn't. And the navigation is imprecise. I uninstalled it after testing it out, and Amazon was gracious enough to provide a refund on the downloaded software.

I know the lay out a little bit already after learning some of the Photoshop Elements layout. I haven't found it too complicated and here is the reason. I watched about 20 hrs. of Tutorials on You Tube and adobe TV. Anthony Morganti, Tim Grey, Robert Rodriquez Jr. (make sure it's Jr.) and others I can't remember the name of right this minute. There is a lady on Adobe TV (free too) that goes through the whole program, one thing at a time. B & H puts free tutorials on You Tube to promote sales. I just sat and watched them "develop" their pictures and enjoyed it. After awhile I became familiar with the program tools for developing and can do quite a bit with it just from watching other people work. It's a great program. Photoshop will do a lot of stuff that Lightroom won't do and Lightroom does a really good job bringing out the best in your photo's. I would say you probably are going to need both programs eventually. If you shop around you can find Lightroom for around a hundred and Elements for a little less. Both compliment each other nicely. Lightroom was the most important for me and it's not a pixel editor so it is non-destructive to the images. Photoshop Elements will allow you to play with the photo's, copy and past thing form one picture into another, edit badly damaged photo's and a whole lot of stuff. Lightroom allows color manipulation, sharpening, all kinds of enhancements to you pictures. I think it was pretty easy to learn the way I did it. Just watching videos until I understood the basics, then playing with it, then going back and watching specific tutorials on certain things when I need to.

I got a manual with my Zeepad and have not been able to locate one on line. What I did find was a you-tube video ( ZeePad 7.0 Tutorial 1 for beginners ) and it seems to have good information. If you need to know something particular, ask me again and I will give you instructions. It's a great tablet once you start using it.
